We recently had the pleasure of working with MMA on a beach front project on Lake Michigan, and I must say that their exceptional talent and innovative approach left me thoroughly impressed. From the initial conceptualization to the final execution, every step of the project was handled with meticulous attention to detail and utmost professionalism. The team at MMA possesses a remarkable ability to transform ideas into tangible, awe-inspiring structures. Their creative vision and deep understanding of architectural principles resulted in a design that seamlessly blended functionality and aesthetics. I was particularly impressed by their ability to capture the 210 degree view at every turn, in ways that we would not have thought of. Throughout the process, communication with MMA was seamless and efficient. They took the time to listen to our needs and desires, ensuring that every aspect of the design reflected our vision. Their collaborative approach fostered a strong sense of partnership, and they were always receptive to feedback and open to making adjustments when necessary. MMA’s expertise extends beyond design, as they showcased a comprehensive understanding of construction methodologies and material selection. Their attention to quality and their meticulous selection of low-maintenance and durable materials resulted in a final product that exceeded our expectations. Not only does MMA possesses an exceptional level of technical skill, but they also have an innate ability to create spaces that evoke emotions and inspire. Their designs go beyond mere structures they become works of art that enhance the surrounding environment and improve the overall quality of life. I wholeheartedly recommend MMA to anyone seeking an architectural partner. Their passion for their craft, unwavering dedication to excellence, and ability to bring visions to life make them a truly remarkable firm. Collaborating with them was an absolute pleasure, and I am confident that they will continue to excel in shaping the future of architecture. Special thanks to Ben Franceschi, Lauren Stoklas, Emily Scrimger-McNamara, and Evan Mathison at MMA, along with our amazing builder Shawn Frisbie of Denali Custom Homes, who truly made our dream-on-the-lake come true!

Our experience with Mathison and Mathison Architects (MMA) has been exceptional in working with them to design and construct a Michigan second home for our family. I am a real estate investor and developer and have worked with many architects over decades and I put MMA at the very top tier. They are smart, capable, considerate, talented, attentive to detail, have a clear design philosophy, work well with contractors and work hard to discern what we wanted in a home and delivered on objectives. The process started with a detailed analysis of how we live and they masterfully translated that analysis in to an extraordinarily designed home. MMA inquired in detail, they listened, they interpreted what we wanted and thoughtfully designed an extraordinary home for us, which we are loving. They delivered on their representations and they do what they say they will do. Every person we encountered at MMA is smart, considerate, talented and is attentive to details. MMA worked well with our contractors throughout the construction cycle. There is no aspect of this project that could have gone better than it did. I highly recommend MMA and look forward to working with them again in future projects.

The Mathison team was more than my wife and I could have hoped for. They helped us with design ideas, but they also listened to our ideas and helped made them work, and they had creative storage ideas for our open communal space. They even helped with ideas about sustainability and energy efficiency as we were trying to be the first house to achieve a "Living Build Challenge" home in Grand Rapids, MI. Their team came out and took accurate measurements of our old falling apart house from 1896, and they quickly came back with the drawings. The house turned out beautifully!

My wife and I purchased a 1955 ranch with the intent to begin a major renovation and add-on to the original house. Mathison worked to develop a concept, floor plan, and structure around our goals and preferences embracing the project all along the way. When we came to terms with the fact that the existing structure should be removed, Mathison modified and improved the design. Always available and extremely responsive Mathison listened to us at every step. In the end, we couldn't be happier. The house fits us perfectly and the design is stunning.

When we decided to build a new, contemporary home, we were quickly attracted to Mathison l Mathison. We had watched and visited projects of theirs and were impressed by their attention to detail, mid-century modern sensibility and use of sustainable materials and energy efficient systems and processes. Mathison l Mathison's talented team consistently incorporated what mattered most to us by using their experience, skills and creativity to create the beautiful new home we are now enjoying.
